Description
Update 1/27/2021: Redrew the main image and upped the resolution. He looks more feline now yay
Back in 2013, I created Regret to symbolize my regret, pain, and self loathing. I would torture him, hurt him, kill him, etc. I began to, well, regret hurting Regret. I hated him in the beginning, as I hated myself, but now I've grown to love him and I only want the best for him. Still not as much myself but it's progress lol
Now I've learned not to punish him, but to help him heal, which of course, is the same for how I should treat myself. Punishment does nothing to help make a difference for a healthier life.
Since over the years, I've been on a long journey of learning and healing, and he has been right there experiencing it all with me.
I want to continue helping him, and myself, to heal from the pains that are still persistent today. Since he has already undergone so much change, his name is also changing to Ravage, or Rav for short. He's still formerly Regret, but he's growing a new life.
Comparing his very first design and the one now, the progress made in his healing is very apparent. <3

So dark. Are you sure Ravage isn't based on Ravage from the Transformers franchise?

He's a spirit, not a real animal, so the things are healing magically. I should add that in there probably. I know they wouldn't have healed like how I drew it. The point is that slowly all traces of any physical pains are disappearing
But thanks

After some thinking and looking at puncture wounds, I decided to go in and change the look of the neck scars anyway o: it's very subtle but still different. I tried to give the sight look of a hypertrophic scar with a kind of divet in the middle whether the hole closed up. It's not very realistic but it's something o:
What do you think?
